According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company evaluated subsequent events through April 30, 2025. This date is significant because it represents the cutoff for including information about events that occurred after the balance sheet date (December 31, 2024 and 2023) but before the financial statements were issued. This evaluation helps ensure that the financial statements reflect the most up-to-date information available.

For a prospective Stretch Zone franchisee, this means that the FDD includes details about any significant events that occurred up to April 30, 2025, which could impact the company's financial condition or operations. One such event was the Second Amendment to the Senior Credit Facility and Waiver, which addressed acknowledged events of default for 2024 and presumed defaults through March 31, 2025. The amendment modified the Maximum Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio and extended the payment of $700,000 in 2024 Excess Cash Flow to May 12, 2025. Additionally, the Parent company entered into $4,300,000 of Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes to prepay principal under the Senior Credit Facility.

This information is crucial for a potential franchisee because it provides insight into Stretch Zone's financial stability and its ability to meet its obligations. The Amendment and Waiver indicate that the company had to address certain defaults, and the issuance of promissory notes suggests that it needed additional financing. While the company believes its existing resources and projected cash flows can satisfy its working capital requirements for the next 12 months, there is a risk that performance expectations may fall short, requiring the company to reduce expenses or raise additional capital. A prospective franchisee should carefully consider these factors and assess the potential impact on their investment.
